Description
In this rollicking memoir, Michael Anderton takes us on a whirlwind tour of his 30-year escapade in the RAF, where he served as a ‘plumber’ — RAF lingo for Armourer. And boy, did he cram in a smorgasbord of experiences, both on home turf and in far-flung corners of the world.
After honing his skills at RAF Halton, Michael bounced around a variety of postings that would make any globetrotter envious. From the sultry climes of RAF Tengah in Singapore to the sun-baked RAF Maintenance Base Safi in Malta, and let’s not forget the No.5131 Bomb Disposal Squadron at RAF Stafford. He even made stops at RAF Wildenrath in Germany and RAF Coltishall, before soaking up some rays at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, and tinkering with missiles at RAF Wattisham.
Throughout these postings, Michael encountered enough peculiar and riveting escapades to fill a book—which, thankfully, he did. With a wit sharper than a well-honed spanner, he regales us with tales that are as enjoyable as a pint at the local pub. While anyone with a pulse will find this book a delightful read, it’ll be a particular treat for his fellow RAF ‘plumbers’ who’ve likely endured similar antics in their own storied careers.
